Audio Kharma website


Do people take this website serious. They have a thread about bacon that has over 1000 posts. One guy was complaining that audio was an expensive hobby but only had 300.00 tied up in his system. They think that audio made during the 70's blows away gear made in 2013. I can't figure out if these people took to much acid back in the day or are people really that stupid.

Liquid-smooth, I believe it for a couple of reasons:

- While the guys on AK tend to have fairly low dollar systems, some of the systems perform very respectably - some at AKfest have outperformed some of the commercial exhibits - and once you get past the 'cheap' aspect the guys are pretty decent folks happy to help others.

- Spudz has proven time after time that he is incapable of posting constructively and coherently, researching the topic and engaging his brain before posting, without merely trolling and being a putz. A good example of the "Spudz effect" is the downward spiral this thread has followed.
Hey Brian sweetheart,

If you want to see a thread that has went downhill look at the bacon thread on Ak. 1200 posts so far and growing.

I know you are trying desperately to push your C class goods but this is still not your market unless you are giving 50% of retail. I guess you want to stay on there good graces by giving them props. I can't see any well respected distributor-slash retailer attending the AK-fest.

Why next for you a honey-boo-boo convention?
Taters, it seems to me you're one of the folks having a good time checking out the site. Why are you cutting it down?

No reason to put them down. They do what they do and enjoy it, like you. I'm not putting you down, just stating an observation.
At last summers Capital Audiofest, the DIY'ers had some of the best sound I heard in the show. Did not look like much, but with some know how, they put the fancy stuff there on notice for a fraction of the cost. A real eye/ear opener. I would expect to find more stuff like that on another site, but not here on A'gon. Performance matters here but style is also a factor. The DIY'ers proved that style was not critical to having good sound.

A little know-how can go a long way when it comes to these things, bacon or not.
